Basket Talk

To better understand la langue de la caniche d'hiver it's important to start with the various uses of the word 'basket'.

The older usages can be traced to a polynesian pidgin language.
Examples:

'Basket belong trouser'................pocket.
'Titti basket'.................................Brassiére

Modern Poodle Usages:

Cotton basket...............................Bed.
Water basket................................Bath.
Earth basket.................................Grave.
Air basket......................................Aeroplane, (of course derived from Montgolfier's invention).

At the Royal Tahitian Hotel we dined under a basket; the roof was an inverted bowl made from the fronds of the Pandanus tree, many bungalow walls are made from this wicker.
